Three University of Dallas students receive scholarships

Three University of Dallas Satish and Yasmin Gupta College of Business students received scholarships this summer.

Tasia Williams, a master of science student in accounting, was one of 102 students nationally to receive a $10,000 merit scholarship from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The scholarship program encourages students to pursue a career in auditing.

The Texas Business Hall of Fame selected Sophie Healy Roth, an MBA student and college of business admission advisor, to receive a $10,000 scholarship as one of Texas’ outstanding business students. Roth shares the honor with 30 other students.

As part of the award, scholarship recipients are invited to attend the 2014 Texas Business Hall of Fame induction dinner in November in Dallas. There they will be able to meet and network with Hall of Fame members and the 2014 inductees, including Texas Health Resources CEO Douglas Hawthorne and Kelcy Warren, CEO and chairman of Energy Transfer Partners.

The third student, Mahmudur Haque, a master of science in accounting student and vice president of the Accounting and Finance Society, received the Institute of Management Accountants’ Certified Management Accountant Program Scholarship. The award includes a comprehensive package of benefits enabling him to study for and take the CMA exam, one of the most prestigious management accounting certifications. The award recognizes a student’s expertise in financial planning and analysis and commitment to ethics.
